GELATISSIMO

A world is lonely without ice cream, is it not? It’s one of my comfort foods. What about you?

During my recent week-long days off back home, Tina, Gabby and I managed to dropped by our favorite malls in Makati and sampled a few flavors of gelato from Gelatissimo in Greenbelt 5.

With Gabby at the counter, I asked the crew of their bestsellers and one of them told me to try tasting first before making a choice. Everything looked so delicious but we wanted to order 3 flavors only on their biggest cup; we eneded up enjoying various chocolate-flavored gelato. It was like heaven in every scoop! 😀

It was Tina and Gabby who already gave it a shot from their TriNoma Mall branch a few months ago and liked it from then on.

There’s Gelatissimo branch also here in Penang, located at Plaza Gurney in Gurney Drive but I refused the chance to sample it for I find it a bit costly and so does its Manila counterpart. I guess, indulgence always has a price.

Now, I’m craving for some ice cream. I wish I have vanilla on the fridge.

Doc, I recommend their chili-chocolate and caramelized fig flavors. The chocolate is lush and dark with a slight nudge of heat when you swallow. (Parang frozen hot chocolate!) The fig, on the other hand, is rich and buttery with sweet chunks of fruit.
